Benefits of technology

[0004]The invention is a component backpack system which is scalable to a number of different missions and which can provide a number of different configurations for different load carrying requirements. It can also provide the flexibility of one pack being broken into two or more functional backpacks, so that one person's heavy load can be divided between two or three users, or so that if one person was no longer able to carry his pack, his pack could be added to another person's pack to carry his gear for a period of time.

Problems solved by technology

However none of these prior art configurations of backpacks provide a backpack system which can be configured in a number of different ways for different purposes and for different weight carrying capacities.

Abstract

A component backpack system is shown, which is a backpack from which can be created multiple backpacks. Such a backpack system can be scalable in different configurations in order to perform different tasks. This can include breaking down from one pack to form two or more independent backpacks, each with their own shoulder straps and waist belt systems. In a reverse form of component assembly, a number of backpacks of the invention can be combined to form a single backpack, thus consolidating or transferring the load from two people onto one person, or from 3 people onto two or one person.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention generally relates to backpacks in general, and more particularly, to backpacks which combined with smaller backpack units to offer a backpack which is scalable for different backpack needs.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are various times when the user of a backpack needs to carry backpacks of different configurations. These can include backpacks which have a compartment for carrying a gun, as well as backpacks of different volumes for different purposes. Sometimes it is also beneficial for one backpack to be divisible into more than one subunit, so the weight in one backpack can be divided between several people with each of them carrying a portion of the weight in a functional backpack. There are prior art backpacks which include a compartment for storage of a long gun, or for storage of a gun which is no longer than the length of the backpack. There are other backpacks in the prior art which contain compartments which serve differe...
